A popular fan theory on the internet posits the notion that "James Bond" is not a given name, but an honorary title bestowed to England's greatest secret agent, the person holding the designation of "007." This theory is based on the fact that James Bond has been played by six different actors over the course of twenty-four films since the character's cinematic debut in 1962's Dr. No. From a superficial standpoint, the theory makes sense. After all, Pierce Brosnan didn't look like he had been a secret agent for forty years by the time Die Another Day came around in 2002. Daniel Craig is a rookie 00-Agent in Casino Royale, ignoring the previous twenty films! The general flow of continuity is...

By now, you’ve probably heard the rumors. According to British tabloid The Daily Mail (so take all of this with a big grain of salt), Captain Marvel co-star Lashana Lynch will debut as the new 007 in Bond 25 , which is currently filming. Worried that Lynch’s casting marks the end of the traditional James Bond? Don’t be. The gadget-toting, martini-swilling, womanizing superspy that you know and love isn’t going anywhere. Lynch’s debut scene reportedly goes something like this: Near the beginning of the film, Bond’s boss, M, welcomes 007 into his office. Instead of Daniel Craig, who’ll be playing Bond one final time in Bond 25 , in walks Lynch...

He’s the world’s most famous secret agent, and the selection of watches on his wrist is at least as varied as the parade of “Bond girls” at his side.

James Bond first appeared on the silver screen in 1962 and has remained there ever since, but the Bond character was born 10 years prior to 007’s cinematic debut. Ian Fleming wrote Casino Royale, his first novel about the adventures of the charming MI6 agent, while on his honeymoon in 1952. Although Bond immediately showed extraordinarily good taste in...

After the fall of communism and the formation of the Czech Republic in 1992, Hollywood studios rushed into the country to take advantage of not only low production costs, but also the high level of talent available throughout the local industry. As prices began to increase, studios went further east (Romania became a popular location), but new tax breaks have seen studios coming back to the country: recent productions have included Snowpiercer (starring Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton), The Last Knights (Clive Owen, Morgan Freeman), and Child 44 (Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman). Still, most big Hollywood productions have come to Prague to save money; this has led to a deluge of (let’s say) less-...
